Civil engineering firms perform a variety of hazardous tasks and activities. How has the current pandemic and technology trends impacted our ability to stay safe and remain in compliance? This presentation will explore questions such as, What hazardous activities are specific to civil engineers? What health and safety regulations impact the construction industry? How does the EMR affect civil engineering firms? How is a health and safety plan developed? How does safety save money? How can engineering firms stay OSHA-compliant during the pandemic? What health and safety regulations have changed with COVID-19? What is the impact of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) on safety? Engineering-related violations and practical tips for OSHA compliance will be addressed.

Objectives: Attendees will be able to

• Identify the typical hazards associated with civil engineering tasks and activities.

• Review current information on drone safety on job sites.

• Recognize how COVID-19 has affected safety regulations.

• Develop a health and safety plan specific to the engineering industry.
